Achieving energy resilience: Deep insight into threats, assets and national policy is the first step

The article linked below (Read More) contains prudent and practical advice to organizations operating in the energy sector and those supporting the energy sector, like suppliers of products used throughout critical energy infrastructure. This message is consistent with other calls to create more resilient critical systems, operations and entities, such as the PCAST report and Tom Fanning’s keynote speech to CISA on June 12, 2024.

The only missing ingredient is a cohesive effort across the energy industry to improve on the current situation with strong, committed leadership providing air cover and support. We are seeing some progress on a cohesive effort to drive progress toward a brighter future coming from INGAA.

I hope friends and colleagues can join in this CISA hosted webinar on November 14 titled “Enhancing Cyber Supply Chain Assurance: “How-To” Discussion on the Secure Software Acquisition Guide”

Also, looking forward to meeting friends and colleagues at the NPCC Fall meeting in Hartford on November 6-7. Looking forward to discussing the FERC Supply Chain Risk Management NOPR in Docket RM24-4-000.
